The gang are enjoying a well earned break for the fortnight, but don't worry - we've got that top-class content still rolling in for you. This week it's the extended version of the excellent interview Rowan held with Michael Hobbes, long-form journalist at Huffington Post Highline. His article "Millennials are Screwed" is a great combination of storytelling, data and a nifty aesthetic that challenges our lazy assumptions about why Millennials are struggling to get by. Maybe we're not so entitled and feckless... maybe the older generations genuinely had it easier? In our interview Michael introduces the issue of generational inequality and discusses the political environment that has driven this - and what we might do about it. Don't forget to check out the original article, which is fantastic: https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/poor-millennials/ The shorter version of this interview first appeared in S2 E8: https://soundcloud.com/connectedanddisaffected/s2e08-millennials-killed-napkins-boomers-killed-housing ___ We'll be republishing the combined 5-part version of Warren's "History of Neoliberalism" next week, don't miss.
